I am sure the US would resort to an embargo, but some European countries
have a track record of it that relate to Aust. The fact we, Australia are a close friend of the US means we are likely to be in it with them, not by ourselves so less likely to cop an embargo.
Libya
Germany, Poland for a start.
re Cocos Islands - that will be interesting to see if it becomes the next Diego Garcia (for aircraft only) although apart from Political sensitivities of having US base here in Aust, I would have thought Exmouth would have been good - based in a stable country but well out of the way, plenty of space, ships could be located at least on that side of Australia as has been talked about already).
